Mid Travel BS 2.0

I would not go back to in board. It drives better now and is more stable. Shocks don't hit the gas tank anymore. I have bed space again

 

Well sounds like a good direction for me to go then. Thanks again for all the input

Where do you guys think I should order deavers from?

Can't wait to start fabing

 

Any 1st gen guys box their rear frame? Did you also plate the outside of the frame and the top or bottom?

 

I boxed the inside and plated the outside, but did not plate anything on the top or bottom

 

That's what I figured. How thick of steel? How did you paint the inside of the boxed part to prevent rust?

 

I think I used 3/16, I did not paint the interior before I installed but mine is only partially boxed, so I sprayed a bunch in after. Being AZ I wasnt too worried but Jon found some good stuff to precoat before you weld the pieces in

 

i would say 1/8" is also fine. similar thickness to your frame already. but going overkill isnt always bad either

 

Por15 etch primer FTW

 

Im not super worried, but I do hit water and mud occasionally with camping and don't wanna stress it. Thanks bud!

 

Who in the SoCal area can do a CMC this Saturday??

 

CMC?

 

Isnt @jeffz0rz
In socal?

 

Cab mount chop. I'm putting on some 35s this week.

 

You're right, I'll send him a message, I'm looking for the nearest one.

 

You can do it yourself with a cutoff wheel. Don't need to weld it back together tight away

 

I really should make a build thread. Just got those sexy bucket TC gussets welded on.

 

Does anyone see an issue with mounting a tab to the OEM LCA for a limiting strap or would it be better to purchase a set of LCA skids and weld a tab to them?

 

i would put a small plate on the lca then weld the tab to that

 

I'd PM @glorifiedwelder , he may be around. Does solid work

 

I didn't plate the outside and the inside is partially boxed lol
